They just fly right under the radar going about their business and living in insane houses. I’m talking about NHL veterans. These guys just stay quiet and then all of a sudden I get an email from Erik (no last name) telling me that longtime NHL defenseman Dan Boyle is selling his incredible San Jose estate for $5,988,000. Just out of nowhere. I cannot possibly keep track of every NHL defenseman selling houses so kudos to Erik for looking out for BC.

How can Dan afford this place? He’s made approximately $50 million over his NHL career, according to CapGeek.com. $50 MILLION! Now you know why these puck bunnies go nuts over these hockey guys.

According to Dan’s realtor:

French knoll top Villa with city light & valley Views. Private acre lot within walking distance of top Los Gatos schools & downtown. Newer construction with only the finest materials and workmanship. Slate roof,copper gutters, hand carved limestone and cherry wood cabinetry…Completely landscaped with custom pool/spa,outdoor kitchen, pool house/gym, 4 car garage & so much more. IT IS A MUST SEE!

Dan just finished six years with the Sharks and is now an unrestricted free agent so the feeling is that he’s leaving town for good.
